Nominations for the Montana Business Hall of Fame — deadline Feb. 13

Montana State University Billings (MSUB), the College of Business at MSUB and the MSUB Foundation are pleased to announce the fourth annual call for nominations for the statewide Montana Business Hall of Fame. In order to reach a wide group of people in Montana and garner the best possible group of nominees, we would like for the members of the Montana Ambassadors to receive this email and the attached nomination form. Members are invited to nominate a business leader they believe is worthy of recognition. Because many people are deserving of recognition, previous nominations may be re-submitted.

The Montana Business Hall of Fame recognizes business leaders who have been successful in private enterprise in Montana. By identifying outstanding examples of business leadership, the Hall of Fame recognizes, shares, and documents stories of success and innovation. The Hall of Fame creates an awareness of appreciation of Montana’s rich heritage of business leadership.

Last year’s class included these outstanding business leaders: Karen Fagg (Billings), Terry Payne (Missoula), and Dr. Nicholas Wolter (Billings). These individuals were honored at An Evening With Henry Winkler dinner on October 11, 2016. At least two new members are inducted each year.

Business leaders selected for the Montana Business Hall of Fame are recognized for their contributions to Montana within the past 25 years. Posthumous nominations are welcome. The criteria for acceptance into the Montana Business Hall of Fame include:

* Outstanding business performance

* High standard of ethics

* Willingness to take risks

* Concern for the customer and for the well-being of employees

* Innovative business ventures

* Contributions to their local communities and the state

Anyone interested in acknowledging the outstanding contributions of Montana business leaders may submit a nomination to the MSUB College of Business. Those selected for the honor will be inducted into the Hall of Fame at an awards ceremony held this fall.
